Quarantines are a key feature of Peer Global File Service, used for resolving version conflicts.  For more detailed information on how quarantines work, see Conflicts, Retries, and Quarantines in the Advanced Topics section.

You must explicitly remove a file from quarantine in order to have it participate in the collaboration session once again.

You may also choose to perform no action, in which case, the file is removed from the Quarantines table but none of the file versions are modified; therefore if the files are not currently in-sync, then the next time the file is modified, changes will be propagated to the other hosts.  If an error occurs while removing the quarantine, then the Status field in the Quarantines table is updated to reflect the error.

To remove a file (or multiple files) from quarantine:

1.Open the job.

2.Open the Quarantines tab in the Runtime Summaries view.

3.Select the file(s) in the Quarantines table.

4.Select the host with the correct version.

5.Click the Release Conflict button.

After doing this, all hosts are checked to make sure the file is not currently locked by anyone.  If no locks are found, then locks are obtained on all versions of the file and the targets that are out-of-date are synchronized with the selected source host.
